Bill Permitting Right-to-Carry in North Dakota State Parks to be Considered Next Week!

Friday, February 6, 2009

On Thursday, February 12, the House Political Subdivisions Committee will hear House Bill 1389, legislation granting the Right-to-Carry in State Parks throughout North Dakota. 

On Friday, January 9 all those with valid conceal permits were granted the freedom to carry on national parks based on a ruling by the Department of the Interior.  This ruling however did not grant these same people the ability to carry in their own State Parks.  So while you are currently allowed to carry in National Parks in North Dakota, HB 1389, sponsored by State Representative Karen Karls (R-35), will grant those with valid conceal carry permits to carry in State Parks throughout North Dakota. 

Please contact the members of the House Political Subdivisions Committee listed and urge them to support HB 1389.  Contact information can be found below.
